Songs with understated bass lines that just work

[3bolt79]

I was listening to this song in the car. I had my speakers set just right so that the bass activity and the guitar activity was pretty much equal, but on different sides in my car. This is such a great, simple song. The Bass, Guitars, and drums seem to fit together like pieces in a puzzle. They are separate, interlocking pieces. A perfect example of leaving space for others to fit in. Simple, but tight.

This one is interesting. Pay attention to the rhythm guitar slashes behind the guitar solo and how the bass pumps and slides.

Love the bass behind the vocal before the guitar comes in…

The horns get all the credit.
